Ingredients

• 10 sheets Rice paper
• 1 cup Hearts of palm
• 1 cup King oyster mushrooms
• 0.5 cup Carrot
• 0.25 cup Green onions
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 1 tbsp Garlic
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 sheet Nori seaweed
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the hearts of palm, king oyster mushrooms, carrot, and green onions into small, uniform pieces.

Step 2

In a heated pan, add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Add the ginger and garlic, sautéing until aromatic, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the hearts of palm, mushrooms, and carrot to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture softens and any excess moisture evaporates.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and finely shredded nori seaweed. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the cornstarch to help bind the filling.

Step 6

Prepare a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper sheet at a time for a few seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a damp kitchen towel.

Step 7

Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture into the center of the softened rice paper.

Step 8

Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold over the sides, and roll up tightly to form a dumpling.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining rice paper and filling.

Step 10

Optional: To steam the dumplings, arrange them in a single layer in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam for 6-8 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the vegetarian prawn dumplings warm, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
